You will need:



A4 sheets of paper


What to do



The Classic Dart

1. Fold the paper in half lengthways, crease and open out.

2. Take the two front corners and fold to meet the centre crease.

3. Fold the edges made by step 2 to meet the centre crease. Try to keep the nose point sharp.

4. Fold the outside edges together and re-flatten the first crease.

5. Fold the outside edge down to meet the centre crease, turn the plane over and repeat on the other side.

6. Open the wings up to about 90° and hold underneath to throw. To get the best results throw the dart firmly at a slightly upward angle.
